**Bangalore, India -** Digital trucking platform BlackBuck, officially known as Zinka Logistics Solutions Ltd., is set to launch its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on November 13th. The company aims to raise up to Rs 1,114.7 crore through the offering, which includes a fresh issue of shares and an Offer for Sale (OFS) component.
The IPO price band has been fixed between Rs 259 and Rs 273 per share. At the upper end of the price range, BlackBuck hopes to secure Rs 1,114.7 crore.
Early indicators suggest strong market interest in the offering. The shares are currently trading with a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 24, representing an 8.79% premium over the upper end of the price band. This marks a significant jump from the GMP of Rs 8 on November 8th when the shares began trading in the unlisted market.
BlackBuck plans to utilize the IPO proceeds for sales and marketing, investment in its subsidiary Blackbuck Finserve Pvt., and further product development. The company, founded in 2015, entered the unicorn club in 2021 after securing over $350 million in funding.
BlackBuck offers a range of digital logistics services, including vehicle financing, fuel cards, FASTag services, and a marketplace connecting truck operators with businesses needing transportation services. The company boasts a customer base of approximately 9.63 lakh on its platform.
Despite reporting a loss in the last financial year, BlackBuck’s upcoming listing is generating considerable buzz. The strong GMP indicates a positive market sentiment towards the company’s future prospects.
